Not that we owe an explanation but we had one player on vacation and 1 player out with a concussion so brought in a SRSA player that played that position. We also had one SRSA player who was a sibling to one of our 00 players who was going to be there with her sister and wanted to play so she played. That's where the SRSA reference comes in. It's all good though, they used one of ours, we used theirs. Both rosters are very capable of holding their own. Time will tell. Barca may have been on the losing end in one of the games and we all know there is always an excuse for a loss. If he wasn't then my apologies, either way he was still trying to throw a little shade.
Interesting, but why would anyone care whom you are using in a tourney these days? We are so close to ECNL and a few teams in the area are already looking at "Pre" ECNL teams.
Congrats either way. Goes to show how tough the future ECNL Solar team will be.

Re: Congratulations
However I just wish with that great talent came a bit of humility in victory and much less arrogance from players and parents. Unfortunately as long as you win, our culture promotes and rewards that kind of attitude. Youth just emulate what they see at home and on professional teams...yes Mr. Jones, I'm talking to you.
Of course, this is my opinion and others may differ...and that's OK.

Re: Congratulations
Confidence and excitement can sometimes make a person overlook the feelings of others without truly intending to be mean and rude.
Best regards

Yes, speed is one of the team's best abilities, but they also pass well (and with speed), trap the ball and understand the game. They play the game at the speed of the older teams in D1.
But all this said, it is about perspective and we all have our own. Let's just agree to disagree on a couple of points and look forward to getting that darned LHGL schedule out!

Now as for humility, that's a double edge sword. The parents on the losing sides favorite rebuttal is to "show some class" when we celebrate a win or a nice goal. Those same parents don't show any in those rare occurrences when we find ourselves trailing or tied at the half or when they are jumping up and down on the sidelines exclaiming "They can be beat, they can be beat". Nor do they show any when they tell their DDs to "shut her down" or say things like "I bet she won't score." When she does, and we cheer or laugh, then its we're classless or arrogant. Puh-leeze, I've been around soccer for a long time but some of the negative and derogatory comments from opposing parents AND Coaches when reference my DD is mind blowing. I don't say anything to anyone unless they say something to me or to her. I watch my DD play just like everyone else but parents and Coaches alike piss me off when they tell players to punch my kid in her back and hard foul her and then when she's hurt, it's all a part of the game. That is not how you play the game. I have one kid now that has had 2 ACL injuries because of dirty play and parents telling their kids to "shut her down". No parent should have to go through that and I be damned if I hear anyone saying that kind of stuff about my 12 year old and I not address them. It's actually pretty simple, don't say anything to my kid and I won't say anything to you about what you said to my DD. If you tell your kid to hurt mine, then I will say something about that as well. When a player is fouled out of her shoe and an opposing parent yells its a flop, that both baffles and annoys me. It takes real skill to flop right out of your soccer cleats. SMH! You can call it arrogance or whatever you want, but this Mama Bear is ALWAYS going to protect her cub just like you would protect yours in the exact same situation. I have never told my DD to hurt anyone's child because these are little kids and they deserve to be able to play the game at this age and not have to worry about serious injuries. Ref's need to do their jobs and make calls and give cards when warranted. Too many times ref's will let violent play continue until both teams are no longer playing soccer and both sidelines are worked into a frenzy. If more fouls were called then the retaliation fouls don't have to happen. Some of you will agree and understand what I'm talking about and well some of you just won't. The ones that won't are probably the ones this is directed at.
